Bring a book to this post, snuggle up, and read while you read, dawg. We don&#8217;t need a reason to get you over here, do we? This feels like friendship.<\/p>\n<p>Settle in, friend. Spend some time here at mattcarpenterart.com. Look around. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/mattcarpenterart.com\/word\/gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gallery<\/a>. Read these words. Read some of the words above these. Read some of the words down below. You don&#8217;t even have to do it in order if you don&#8217;t want to. No pressure. I won&#8217;t judge if you want to just&nbsp;read random words from&nbsp;each sentence. Backwards. Do&nbsp;what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Fuck it, man. There are no rules. We could even end this sentence with a comma,<\/p>\n<p>Fuck it, man? I&#8217;m going to end sentences with question marks from now on? That changes the way you read it? I don&#8217;t even care?<\/p>\n<p>How have you been recently?<\/p>\n<p>Oh shit, really? I&#8217;m sorry to hear that. Well, Dog works in mysterious ways, so don&#8217;t lose fate.

I went to a <a href=\"http:\/\/mattcarpenterart.com\/img\/2016\/04-2016\/17-TANK-GATHERING.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">festival<\/a>, treated my body like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magicjumprentals.com\/rentals\/8_concession-machines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rental<\/a>, and came home a little sick.<\/p>\n<p>Oh wait, there IS some art. There are a couple new animations, actually!

Nnnnnice! I&#8217;m proud of you. You&#8217;re doing a really good job, as far as I know. I can only go by what you tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Are you really being honest with me? Things are going that well? Oh. I see.. You just said that because you don&#8217;t want to talk about what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s fine. We won&#8217;t talk about it. It&#8217;s not like I would understand, I mean my head fell off last week but whatever, I could never understand loss or pain or struggle or anger or confusion or even hangnails, I get it. I get it: you think I don&#8217;t get it.<\/p>\n<p>You know what? I think maybe it&#8217;s time you write.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, maybe it&#8217;s time you left.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to have a nice time with a friend and now you&#8217;re over there lying to me and judging me, thinking I couldn&#8217;t ever&nbsp;understand you.

Well shit, no wonder you&#8217;re so irritable. Here.. there&#8217;s the door to the shredded floor. The door to the GROUND&nbsp;floor, I mean. Ground, not shredded.<\/p>\n<p>Hey though are you sure you don&#8217;t want to stay? There are more words down there if you&#8217;d li&#8211; ok that&#8217;s fine. Here, don&#8217;t forget your jacket, and take these warm biscuits if you want. You remember where you parked? Probably on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>OK, bye, thanks for stopping by! Let&#8217;s maybe do this again soon, orr.. uhh no? Yeah? no? no. OK well we&#8217;ll talk later I&#8217;m sure. Byee!<\/p>\n<p>Boy am I glad that person&#8217;s gone.
